It kind of was the cheapest product. Was there a cheaper family sedan, particularly with V8 option available, imported?
Us aussies are apparently prepared to pay $60k and even more, for cars out of Korea. Or $60k for utes made in Thailand. We’re hardly saving much by buying vehicles made by the hands of third world workers, it’s just that the company fat cats are pocketing the manufacturing savings.
Look, if Australian companies could get away with paying us the same wages they pay Chinese and Indian workers they would. The only thing stopping them is unions.
